Everly's heart skipped a beat as she stopped in her tracks. "What did you see?"

"I saw you getting out of Marcus' car," Wayne confessed. "Why were you with him?"

The fact that Camille had posed as Hera and treated people under a false name put Wayne at odds with the Chime family. And ever since Hera exposed Camille's identity, the Chime family had been openly against Youngworth Miracle Clinic. Fortunately, the clinic's reputation remained due to Hera's and Catherine's exceptional medical skills.

However, Priscilla had gone to the clinic to make sarcastic remarks to Catherine, which deepened Wayne's dislike for the Chime family. Despite being one of the four influential families, their behavior was despicable.

Everly immediately grabbed his arm. "Wayne, please don't tell Hera about this, okay? She'll fire me if she finds out. I don't want to be separated from you and Mrs. Jones."
